Georgia rules to know before your website goes live

A few rules apply to any Chickamauga business that sells or advertises online:

• Georgia’s state sales and use tax rate is 4%, and every county adds local taxes, so the combined rate is typically 7% to 9%. Georgia Department of Revenue
• Under ADA Title III, a business open to the public should make its website usable by people with disabilities, according to the Justice Department’s guidance. ADA.gov guidance
• A Georgia trade name is not a state filing: it is registered with the Clerk of the Superior Court in the county where the business is located, and the registration must be published in the local legal newspaper once a week for two consecutive weeks. O.C.G.A. 10-1-490
• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Georgia sales tax once they reach the state threshold: more than $100,000 in gross revenue from Georgia retail sales in the previous or current calendar year, or 200 or more separate retail sales. Policy Bulletin SUT-2019-02
